Re: Doubts about Richard Bellingham's royal line



I suppose I should write to Gary about this, now that the most
recent
volume of _Great Migration_ confirms that the wife of New England
immigrant Philemon1 Pormort was a sister of Richard Bellingham (and
hence her descendants would have this supposed royal descent).

Oops ... presumably Susanna (Bellingham) Pormort was a half-sister of
Richard, and was missing the Amcotts line. See the following vital
records, all from the extracted IGI:

Alford, co. Lincoln
--Willimus. Bellingham to Anna Willech, 3 July 1600
--Susanna Bellingham, dau. of William, bapt. 1 Sept. 1601
--Philemon Pormort to Susanna Billingham, 11 Oct. 1627

Would Susanna and her mother have been any relation of Balthasar
Willix of New England who was also from Alford in Lincolnshire?
